      From: ibshambat@gmail.com              1              Equally with all others       I want to serve you,       Drying from jealousy       My lips turned blue.       Word does not slake       A mouth dry from despair       Without you I am breathless       In empty air.              2              I am no longer jealous       But yet I want you, dear,       I carry me like sacrifice       To executioner,       And no I will not call you       Not love not glee;       The wild and foreign blood       Runs now through me.              3              Wait for one moment       And this I will tell you:       Not joy, but torment I find in you.       And, like a sacrilege,       Bitten in frenzy       Your tender cherry mouth       Still calls to me.              4              Return to me at last, love,       It's awful without you       Never more strongly       Have I felt you.       And in the midnight drama,       Asleep, awake,       I call your name out loud       Even as I shake.              By Osip Mandelshtam       Translated from Russian by Ilya Shambat       https://sites.google.com/site/ibshambat              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
